There's a wonderful new research tool/reference manager that works with open office and they support Ubuntu. One of the things that has keep me dual booting with Windows is the need for specialized reference software, such as Endnote. Well, my dreams have been answered. Can we get this working with Mint and put into the software portal?

They do offer install instructions for an ubuntu repo, so there's no real need to package it specifically for mint. When it conforms to ubuntu packaging guidelines, it'll make it's way into the main repos (a process which can be sped up by asking them to get it into ubuntu's repos directly)http://www.mendeley.com/download-mendel ... top/ubuntu

Installed Mendeley today on Linux Mint 12, but only could install it from Synaptic Package Manager and not from the Mendeley home page, which installs fine in earlier versions of Gnome/Mint/Ubuntu. Hopefully, someday, Mendeley will be installable directly from the Software Manager.
